Starin' out the window
as I watch the rain come down,
I began to ponder the days of old.
You know the road's been rough,
but I ain't got no complaints,
You've always been there for me
through a simple prayer.
Shine on,
You help me through the days.
Shine on through my worst
and through my best.
And though the road's been rough,
You always lend your hand.
I love you, Lord, you're my best friend.
So you say you felt some pain
deep within your soul.
I know a friend who understands your hurt.
And if you give your life to Him,
His love will guide your heart.
And from your side, He'll never leave.
He'll shine on,
He'll help you through the days.
He'll shine on through your worst
and through your best.
And though the road's been rough,
You always lend your hand.
I love you, Lord, you're my best friend.
I don't know what you've been told
about the Lord above.
He's always been a gentlemen to me.
And anytime and anywhere
when you need His company,
don't be ashamed
to get down on your knees.
He'll shine on,
He'll help you through the days.
He'll shine on through your worst
and through your best.
Although the road's been rough,
You always lend your hand.
I love you, Lord, you're my best friend.
